Panasonic FZ-1 Technical Problems
Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:37 pm
I just picked up a 3DO on ebay, and it just came in the mail today. I immediately hooked it up, went around to the front of the tv and selected the proper video. I was greeted with the asteroids flying through space, which was good. I then opened the tray and inserted an original copy of Star Control 2 and closed the tray. The 3DO logo popped up for a second, the access light went on for about 5 seconds, then turned off and I only got a black screen from then on. I then tried taking that disk out and just starting it up with the tray closed and nothing in it and it does the same thing, 3DO logo for a second then black screen that never changes. If I open the tray the animated 3DO logo comes on, then the "insert disk" picture is displayed. Needless to say, if I insert a disk at this point and close the tray, the static 3DO image pops up again for a second and it goes to the black screen forever.
I do not hear any disk activity, but (assuming there is a problem with the motor or something) shouldn't I at least be able to get into the menu for the memory and whatnot. Have been unsuccessful in even getting to the little meteor like screensaver thing again. Could it just be a loose wire somewhere inside?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a link to the one I won, just to provide as much information as possible.
